Glamourcide - sorry the gel didn't work for you but thanks for your well wishes.

Ginger, Jaffaz and sweatpea - thanks for your stories! It really clues in me in more.

Ginger - I don't know how many doses they are willing to give? I didn't know they could give multiple so didn't ask the question. Over what period did they give you your 3 doses?

Jaffaz - Thanks for info re checking in the night. Great that bubs was born without the use of the drip. I think doctor is planning on breaking my waters early in the am. And thanks for information re hubby as I was contemplating that as I have a toddler at home but yours and sweatpea's stories have helped with that! (Although home is only 15min from hospital) so I guess I could call him to come in - as it is a private hossy with a double bed! What do you think?

Sweatpea - It worked well for you both times. 9cm by 8am with DS1 and bubs born in early hours second time. OB did say that he expects me to have a quick labour again once my cervix gets moving - so fingers crossed! Did you have hubby with you at night too? Or did he go home to toddler then you called him in?
